Røde X - Microphones and Unify Software Mixers for Streaming - XCM-50, XDM-100

[13:05 Fri,28.October 2022   by Rudi Schmidts]    

Under the new brand Røde X, the Australian audio manufacturer Røde wants to specifically address gamers and streamers with two new USB microphones: The smaller and cheaper condenser microphone XCM-50, including a table stand, will be available for 189 euros. The dynamic Røde XDM-100, on the other hand, will cost 299 euros and also requires its own suspension, such as a tripod. However, a microphone spider and a pop shield are included in the scope of delivery.

Unlike many other professional microphones, you don&t need a separate audio interface to connect the new microphones. Instead, they are connected directly via USB-C to a PC. The audio data is sampled and transmitted at 24-bit/48 kHz.



The functionality of the XCM-50 is reminiscent of the Røde NT-USB Mini USB microphone, which has been available for some time, but weighs around 100 grams less. A high-quality condenser capsule with a narrow cardioid pick-up pattern is supposed to ensure detailed audio recordings with a focused sound. An integrated pop protection and the capsule suspension should significantly improve the quality compared to cheap solutions.

The XDM-100, on the other hand, has a high-quality dynamic capsule for rich, natural audio recordings. In combination with the Revolution Preamp, the microphone is also said to provide excellent suppression of room noise.

Both microphones have an internal DSP for advanced APHEX speech processing as well as a latency-free headphone output with level control and mute button. For this purpose, the headphones are connected directly to the microphones via a 3.5-millimetre headphone jack. A headphone extension cable is also included with both models.

At the same time, Røde has also introduced a mixing software called Unify under the new "Røde X" brand. With this software, up to four microphones and six virtual audio devices (for example, a game or an app, a chat, music, system sounds or the browser) can be used as sources and mixed live under an interface optimised for streaming.

The licence for Unify currently costs about 5 Euro/month or 45 Euro/year. However, with the purchase of a Rode-X microphone, you get a free licence.
